Chapter 28
Music is still playing.
The melody flows in this small recording room. Light, jumping, dense drums.
Lu Xiaoyuan stayed in place as if he was stunned.
"Hey, why are you in a daze?"
He didn't come back to his senses until the person in front of him stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
Lu Yuzhi "Ask you something."
Lu Xiaoyuan: "Ah..."
These three days had been so rich that he didn't think about it at all. Even though it's been fun until just now. To ask the answer, probably still will not change.
He was really happy.
In the past few days, have tried many new things, and have second brother by side. The other party knows a lot, and as long as he follows along step by step, he can live well without doing anything.
It's like being soaked in honey, the cells of the whole body stretch out, leaving only joy.
However, this alone is not enough. Lu Xiaoyuan realized clearly.
He doesn't like working, and he doesn't like being busy. Just had to do it.
Because he can think wildly, what should he do if he causes trouble for others, what if he delays the plan because of himself. In the end, I fell into deep self-blame.
Although the father was very messy, he directly pushed the position of acting chairman to him. But since he agreed, he must have a beginning and an end. What's more, his father and elder brother are both in China, he doesn't want and can't enjoy happiness abroad by himself.
Having said that...
The second brother has been doing his best these days, how should he answer in a tactful way.
Lu Xiaoyuan racked his brains.
Seeing the wandering eyes of his younger brother, Lu Yuzhi naturally knew the answer.
He was a little disappointed.
But perhaps, he didn't expect much from the beginning.
Because the younger brother is very similar to the mother. Too gentle, too caring about others. It is estimated that I am still worrying about how to refuse at the moment, so I have a tangled face.
It has been like this since childhood.
Shortly after the younger brother was born, the mother died. At that time, he was just a kid, and wishful thinking that his younger brother killed his mother. So during that time there was a lot of tossing, and often lost temper.
As a result, Xiao Yuan had only learned to speak at that time. The first thing I learned was to address my family members, and the second word was "sorry".
Every time he gets angry, the other party will hug him and repeat this sentence. The little fleshy face was wrinkled into a ball, as if he had really committed an unforgivable mistake in the world.
Such a big little dumpling still doesn't understand anything. What is he angry about.
Before his seven-year-old brain understood the intricate relationship, he was beaten up by his elder brother.
Therefore, the "rebellious period" that came earlier was suspended for the time being.
Recalling the past, Lu Yuzhi frowned even tighter and turned off the computer.
The music stops suddenly. Lu Xiaoyuan raised his head, a little confused.
"It's okay." Lu Yuzhi got up and moved the chair rollers back. "I haven't eaten yet, stay with me."
Seeing that the second brother's mood didn't change much, Lu Xiaoyuan said cautiously, "Second brother, are you not angry?"
Lu Yuzhi: "Get angry."
Lu Xiaoyuan panicked.
โI don't think it's bad hereโ
He hurriedly explained, "That's, that's... I can't play like this all day long. It's okay to relax once in a while. The teacher said that you must have goals in life. Ah, I'm not saying that these can't be goalsโโ"
The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became, and he even quoted the words of his former teacher.
Until a low laugh was heard.
Only then did Lu Xiaoyuan care to go up and see people. Seeing Lu Yuzhi leaning against the edge of the table with folded arms, he looked at this side with a half-smile.
Lu Xiaoyuan closed his mouth, and said after a while, "I'm sorry, I'll organize it again."
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Lu Yu put his hand on his head, "Don't tighten the string too tightly. It will break."
Lu Xiaoyuan was confused.
The feeling of the second brother touching his head is different from that of the eldest brother.
The eldest brother often repeats it several times, as if trying to pluck his hair bald. The second brother just casually hit it off.
Doesn't match her personality and appearance, and her movements are gentle.
"Come on, let's go eat."
The hands in front of the eyes are recycled back.
Lu Xiaoyuan didn't know where he got the courage to grab him.
"...second brother," he asked, "do you want to go back together?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuzhi paused.
Lu Xiaoyuan: "Brother said that there is a conflict between you and Dad. Although... I don't know what it is, but if there is anything I can do, please tell me. I will definitely work hard to complete it."
This is Lu Xiaoyuan's selfishness.
He hopes that his second brother can come back, and that the Lu family can become complete.
It's okay even if the second brother doesn't move back home.
It's just that he didn't want an insurmountable gap between the other party and the Lu family.
Because don't know how big the contradiction is, can't pat chest and guarantee that the matter will be resolved. But he wants to try.
He mustered up the courage to speak, but there was no response. The room seemed to be still, even the drop of a needle could be heard.
With his palm empty, the second brother withdrew his hand.
Lu Xiaoyuan's cheek hurt, but the other party actually pinched his cheek flesh lightly.
"Little brat."
Lu Yuzhi's voice was very deep, and he looked down. Amber pupils were faintly hidden by eyelids.
"Kind of being nosy."
Lu Xiaoyuan slurred his speech, "It's nothing to worry about."
The two just stared at each other for a while.
Lu Yuzhi let go of his hands and folded his arms again: "My team and company are here. You are telling me to leave everything behind and follow you."
Only then did Lu Xiaoyuan react.
It seems that I thought too naively. Even if he leaves the company, his elder brother will support him; but the second elder brother is the person in charge here, so he can't just leave.
He felt disappointed that he had made such an irresponsible proposal.
"I'm sorry, but forget it."
Lu Yuzhi: "..."
Lu Yu laughed angrily, "That's it"
Lu Xiaoyuan
"I think you want me to go back so much." Lu Yuzhi grabbed the cheek of the person in front of him again, and said angrily, "Give up as soon as you mention a little difficulty, do you have the resilience?"
This time the force was so strong that Lu Xiaoyuan's mouth was ripped open.
Well, compared to the second brother, he did give up quite quickly. But isn't he respecting the second brother's ideas?
And most importantly, compared to people back. He mainly wanted to resolve the conflict between the other party and his family.
If he really didn't want to go back to China, he didn't want to force it.
Lu Xiaoyuan was in pain, but he didn't dare to speak, tears welled up in his eyes.
Only then did Lu Yuzhi realize that he had done too much. Let go of your hand, the flesh on the opponent's face is half red.
Lu Yuzhi clicked his tongue, "Just say it if it hurts."
Lu Xiaoyuan rubbed his cheeks, "No, it doesn't hurt."
it doesn't hurt
Lu Yuzhi frowned. He was both annoyed that he had struck too hard just now, and also a little distressed.
But he has never been good at talking about caring people. He opened his mouth, and finally tightened his mouth. He picked up his collar and took it out.
Lu Xiaoyuan staggered forward, for some reason.
When arrived at the kitchen, a bag of ice was handed in front of me. The person in front of him said concisely: "Apply."
Lu Xiaoyuan took it in a daze. Looking at the ice pack in his hand, he always felt a little exaggerated.
And the person in front of him just folded his arms and looked at him, as if he wanted to see his movements with his own eyes.
Lu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to put it on his face.
Hiss, it's so cold!
The person in front of him was finally satisfied and asked, "What do you want to eat later?"
Lu Xiaoyuan's fingertips turned white from the ice pack, "Something warm."
"Okay, there is also a hot pot restaurant here."
Lu Yuzhi searched the map on his phone and called the restaurant over there to make a reservation.
Lu Xiaoyuan took the opportunity to throw the ice pack into the pool and shook his hands a few times.
"Xiao Yuan."
Hearing a voice behind him suddenly, Lu Xiaoyuan thought his actions had been discovered, and panicked all of a sudden. Just as I was about to explain, I heard the next sentence.
"I will consider what you say."
Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head back.
The second brother took his hand and covered his fingertips with his palm. The temperature is transmitted.
The other party's brows were slightly frowned, and the brow nails shone under the incandescent lamp.
"Give me a moment."
Time passed, and it was the day of the official signing.
Lu Xiaoyuan didn't know if the second brother mentioned it casually. In short, after that, the two had a hot pot meal together, and did not bring up similar topics again.
It is really embarrassing for the second brother to leave his career and teammates and go back to China with him. So Lu Xiaoyuan didn't hold out any hope.
This may be the day of parting from my second brother.
Lu Xiaoyuan became a little melancholy in his heart. Same as when he came, put on a full suit.
Pulling the box out, when leaving the room, it happened that the second brother also came out of the bedroom.
The other party was still dressed casually as before. Glancing at his suitcase, he took it very naturally. In the car, returned the phone to him.
thanks.
The mobile phone is not heavy, but Lu Xiaoyuan feels heavy. haven't read it for three days, and don't know how much information is backlogged in it.
He opened it tremblingly.
The battery is fully charged.
He thought that the information would burst out immediately after turning on the phone. However, the strange thing is that there are not many unread messages after three days of not dealing with official business.
He opened the big brother's dialog box first.
The news was as of three days ago, and only one line of words was displayed under the provocative voice of the second brother.
[The opposite side has withdrawn a message].
Lu Xiaoyuan
He went to see Secretary Xu again.
The other party sent a message last night, saying that he had booked a ticket for this afternoon and sent the flight information. Nothing else.
Other job information is similarly scant.
If it wasn't for the date display, he would have thought it was only three hours, not three days.
Lu Xiaoyuan scratched the back of his head.
There is not so much work news, it seems that we should breathe a sigh of relief. But feel weird again.
The fingertips stayed on the screen, ready to send a message to ask. While he was thinking of words, the car stopped.
The KING building has arrived.
Compared with that night, the buildings under daylight no longer looked gloomy.
It was only then that Lu Xiaoyuan noticed that the exterior design was very special. thought it was just a layer of cement, but it turned out to be an industrial style decoration. The overall tone is gray, with occasional graffiti. The cool style complements the KING brand.
Probably knowing that the captain is coming, all KING members are in place on this day. Ma Qi warmly greeted him: "Captain, the contract is ready."
"Go and sign." Lu Yuzhi casually stuffed the suitcase to his teammate.
There were no twists and turns in the middle.
Lu Xiaoyuan sat on the sofa like a good student, and saw the person opposite him writing his name on the paper.
Even if the contract is completed.
Lu Xiaoyuan withdrew the contract. Star Entertainment's official seal has already been stamped, and then just send a message to Jiang Zicang's team to officially launch the album.
"Thank you."
The boulder hanging in my heart finally fell. If the other party hadn't agreed, the company would have lost a lot this time.
"Thank you." Lu Yuzhi closed the pen cap, "I promised you a long time ago."
Lu Xiaoyuan pursed his lips, "Then, I'll go and talk to them first."
One of Lu Yu raised his chin.
Lu Xiaoyuan walked to the corner and first notified Jiang Zicang's manager. The other party was overjoyed and thanked again and again, saying that he would make preparations immediately. After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated for a moment, and then called his elder brother again.
There were several beeps.
Usually the other party will pick up within three tones. And this time until the hang up, no one answered.
Lu Xiaoyuan was stunned.
If the eldest brother is on a business trip, he really cannot answer the phone when he is on the plane. But he remembered that the other party had no business trip arrangements recently, was it a temporary mission?
Due to unexpected situations at work, changes are common.
But Lu Xiaoyuan was still a little worried, so he contacted Secretary Xu again. Before it was connected, heard a noise coming from the direction of the living room.
"Are you serious about disbanding KING?"
"Today isn't April Fool's Day, right, Captain, it's not funny at all."
Sitting in the center, Lu Yuzhi slapped the person next to him on the back of the head: "I said that there will be fewer performances in the future. How did you hear it?"
"However, if you reduce the performance, Captain, KING is no longer KING."
Lu Yu laughed angrily, "You fucking three-year-olds, you want me to do everything"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, then nodded in unison.
Lu Yuzhi: ...
"Anyway, I've made my decision."
Lu Yuzhi leaned back on the sofa, "I will withdraw part of the investment, but I will leave some to support the studio. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to leave, I will not force it."
There was a moment of silence in the hall. In the end, March was the first to speak. "Captain, will you come back in the future?"
Lu Yuzhi: "It depends on the situation."
Everyone fell into silence again.
For them, the captain is the soul of KING.
This doesn't just mean that the captain leads their entire team. Especially for their band, without the leader's creation and voice, KING would be mediocre.
KING is a group, but also refers to a person.
If the captain leaves, even if the studio is still there, there will only be an empty shell left.
"Can't you think about it any more?" March said condescendingly, "If you miss Xiaoyuan brother, you can go back half of the time and stay with us half of the time."
"trouble."
Lu Yuzhi refused, "I hate flying."
Is it for this reason?
Although all the team members have long been used to the captain's character of wanting to go out, they didn't expect to be so willful when it comes to the survival of the team! This also indirectly proves that the captain doesn't care about the six-year friendship between them. In other words, does friendship exist?
Everyone fell into deep sorrow.
At this time, footsteps came from outside. Everyone followed and saw that it was the captain's younger brother.
The other party stood at the door with a solemn expression, probably hearing their conversation.
Lu Yuzhi raised his eyebrows: "The phone call is over."
"Hmm..." Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated to speak.
Lu Yuzhi "I have something to say"
"..." Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated, "Second Brother, why don't you stay here."
Hearing this, Lu Yuzhi couldn't help but pause.
"I was too presumptuous to mention it before." Lu Xiaoyuan lowered his head, "I ignored the actual situation."
The second brother has spent six years of hard work here, how could he ask people to give up rashly.
This is KING. It is so famous internationally, and the members are also very good. If everyone is dispersed, even if a new band is formed, it is difficult to say whether it can achieve the current results.
"I made the decision." Lu Yu said with displeasure, "It's none of your business."
Lu Xiaoyuan: "But if I don't mention..."
Lu Yuzhi: "Why, I regret it."
Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?
Lu Yuzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't want me to go back with you."
Lu Xiaoyuan opened his mouth wide.
That's not what he meant!
The members looked at the two brothers arguing, looking back and forth.
Although except for March, they couldn't quite understand what the two were talking about. It can only be seen that the captain cares about his younger brother very much.
I'm so envious...
Lu Xiaoyuan has never been able to compete with others. Especially once panicked, it is incoherent. The fundus of the eyes seemed to turn in circles, retreating steadily.
Seeing this, Ma Qi took a step forward: "Wait a minute, stop arguing!" "I already know your thoughts very clearly, do you want to listen to my suggestion?"
Everyone looked away, March cleared his throat, and spoke in English.
"Since we don't want to leave the team and the captain wants to leave again, there is actually a surefire solution."
Ma Qi put his hips on his hips, "We can go back to China with the captain."
The voice fell, and the audience froze.
Lu Xiaoyuan thought it was impossible. Most of them are from their own country, so no matter how much you value your second brother, you can't leave your hometown because of this.
Seeing that the team members were silent, he must have been angry because of this proposal.
Just as he was about to ease the atmosphere, a person suddenly realized: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that."
Lu Xiaoyuan: ...
Lu Xiaoyuan
People in this country don't have much family values.
Their thinking is also very simple.
In order to return to China, the captain plans to reduce the number of performances, and even disbanded KING. They don't want to.
That being the case, they can completely move KING's performance platform back to China, there is no need to stay in place.
Originally, other bands were not as strong as them, but they started a global tour early. They didn't do it, on the surface to keep it mysterious, but in fact it was completely to accommodate the captain.
Because the captain thought the tour was too tiring.
"That's right. We will go wherever the captain goes."
"I haven't been abroad yet, so I'm so excited to think about it."
"My parents are here and may not be able to stay permanently. But as long as there is a show, I will rush there!"
Everyone started chattering to discuss going abroad.
Unexpectedly, things would develop like this, Lu Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded.
The atmosphere that was still tense just now became joyful, and the problem was solved like this.
It's just not so easy to go. Most of the team members do not have a visa and have to apply for it. In particular, some follow-up processing work in the studio also had to be completed during this period.
The studio is busy with people coming and going.
Lu Yuzhi took his suitcase and prepared to drive him to the airport.
Lu Xiaoyuan bid farewell to the members of KING, and followed the second brother, his head still a little confused.
In any case, this should be considered a good thing.
The second brother can return to China, and the problems of career and teammates are perfectly resolved.
When he dragged his suitcase and left this morning, he was still a little disappointed, thinking that it would be difficult to meet his second brother in the future.
But now, thinking that the other party will return to China in the near future, feel a little lighter in steps.
"What are you jumping for?"
I heard the question in my ear. Lu Xiaoyuan stopped and looked at his feet. Did you jump by yourself? I didn't pay attention.
Looking to the side again, the second brother is looking at him "so happy"
Lu Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. He didn't have the nerve to answer, but his eyes were bright.
Lu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and reached out to the person beside him.
At this time, the sensor door opens.
Two people stood outside.
The sun is shining brightly, the weather is fine, and the blue sky is as clear and transparent as washing.
The man in front is in a suit and leather shoes, with a stern demeanor. Under the sunlight, his skin was even paler, and his short black hair seemed to be shrouded in a faint halo. And the pale pupils only glanced at him, then moved aside.
"Xiao Yuan."
The tone is indifferent. As always, no emotion could be heard.
"I'm here to pick you up."
